Checkpoint: Autumn, 2013

Here is an account of what I have been up to since my last post in June. I will also provide a quick look forward.

After the trip to PEI, my commitment to cycling waned. My injury bred apprehension and I only rode sparingly for two months. As the season came to a close, I gained back my strength and confidence and purchased an indoor bicycle trainer. So far it has allowed me to get into better shape. Since I have set it up in my living room, I have been able to take in the latest NatGeo videos and monitor my phat level in real time.

The cottage was another obstacle to my cycling regime. Trade-offs.

Trip to PEI, Retrospective.

I went on a trip with a few of my friends to Prince Edward Island for a week. We decided to drive there and we departed on June 1. 

The fog in New Brunswick was thick on the way in.
The drive lasted for 15 or 16 hours. Landmarks of note included a multitude of moose warning signs, an actual real life moose-youth, the demolition of the landscape at Notre-dame du lac (side: supposedly for a highway? I bet the NSA is behind this one), all cut between thick fog and strange mixed languages at rest stops.

We arrived at the cabin-cottage, the cabbage, and were treated to a restful sleep.
